Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1442
The weather in Chang'an City is getting colder every day.

After the failed attack on the city that night, the rebels did not attack the city again.

Their current strategy is to besiege the city and let the people in the capital be in chaos first.

If the people are chaotic and Li Shimin can't control it, then give them a chance.

And the means they used to make the people in the capital chaos, one is the existence of Li Chengming, and the other is the shortage of food in the capital.

As long as there is a shortage of food, he does not believe that the people in the capital will not be chaotic.

However, just as they were surrounding Chang'an City like this, a spy ran over in a hurry.

"My lord, something is wrong."

Hearing this, King Qi frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"The other feudal lords of the Tang Dynasty came to Chang'an City with their soldiers and horses. It seems that they want to be kings."

"What, King Qin?"

King Qi and the others did not expect this.

From their point of view, among so many vassals in the Tang Dynasty, none of them truly believed in Li Shimin, right? Watch from the sidelines instead of leading soldiers and horses to serve the king.

"Is there any mistake, those vassal kings really came to serve the king, not to attack Chang'an City?"

At this time, King Qi and the others still hoped to have a few allies, but unfortunately, the spy shook his head: "My lord, they are really here to serve the king."

After confirming, the other vassal princes also became worried.

"How could this happen? How could they help Li Shimin?"

"We can't attack Chang'an City now. If those feudal lords come with soldiers and horses, where are we their opponents?"

"King Qi, what do you think we should do now?"

"........."

When the other vassals asked, King Qi frowned, and said, "There are not many vassals who are convinced by Li Shimin. The reason why they came may be for the credit of saving King Qin. In this way, we will send people to negotiate with these vassals. As long as they are willing to turn against each other and help us capture Chang'an City, we will double what Li Shimin can give them..."

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged for interests.

King Qi was clearly aware of this truth, so after slowly regaining his composure, he didn't feel how terrifying the arrival of these vassal kings was.

And after he finished saying this, the other vassal kings immediately nodded in agreement, thinking that what King Qi said was right.

Soon, they sent several envoys to negotiate with different feudal lords, and they must persuade them to defect and help them capture Chang'an City.

After sending these envoys out, King Qi and the others once again stepped up publicity, especially the choice of Li Chengming's identity. His identity can sometimes play a big role.

Not only the people in Chang'an City will have a change, but other feudal lords will also think about it after hearing this, right? ——
Zhao Wang Li Qingfeng.

Zhao Wang is a cousin of Li Shimin, and he has made a lot of military exploits with Li Yuan before.

So after the world was settled, Li Yuan generously granted him the title of Prince.

The title of prince is rare outside of princes.

Generally, those who are like this are enshrined as county kings. King Zhao can be enshrined as prince, which shows how powerful his achievements are.

Zhao Wang brought [-] soldiers and horses to Chang'an City to serve the king.

And just as he was rushing towards Chang'an City with his soldiers and horses, a guard hurried over and said, "My lord, the envoys of His Highness Qi Wang have come and said they have something to discuss with the lord."

Zhao Wang Li Qingfeng is tall and slender, but his appearance is average.

Hearing that King Qi sent an envoy, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Let him come here."

The army stopped, and not long after, King Qi's envoys ran over.

'Meet His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. '

King Qi's envoy gave a big gift to King Zhao Li Qingfeng, Li Qingfeng nodded and said: "Get up, your Highness King Qi asked you to come, what do you want to say to this king?"

The envoy said: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, I wonder if you are here for King Qin, or are you planning to attack Chang'an City?"

Zhao Wang snorted: "The Supreme Emperor treats this king well, so I am naturally here to serve the king."

The envoy shook his head: "But Li Shimin is the enemy of the Supreme Emperor, and he put the Supreme Emperor under house arrest. Since the prince wants to repay the Supreme Emperor, he should be an enemy of Li Shimin."

Speaking of this, the envoy paused for a moment before continuing: "Now, Li Chengming, the son of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, is in our army. We can help the prince's son take back everything that belongs to him."

"My lord, if we join hands, we have a great chance of success."

King Qi's envoy muttered something, and seeing King Zhao's expression moved slightly, he thought there was something going on, so he continued: "My lord, as long as you can capture Chang'an City, among the things in this world, which one do you want? , our lord will give you that, we can give you what Li Shimin can give you, lord, why don't you think about it?"

The spies looked at King Zhao full of expectations. King Zhao was originally thinking, but after hearing the envoy's words, King Zhao's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "You are humiliating me. Is this king the kind of person who covets power?"

"This..." The spy was a little confused, isn't Zhao Wang a person who is greedy for power?
"My lord, anyway, as long as you join forces with our lord, it will definitely benefit you."

King Zhao curled his lips: "You humiliated me again. This king has been humiliated by you again and again. If I don't kill you, how can I bear this tone?"

As King Zhao waved his hand, a servant rushed out, and the envoy became more and more confused, completely unaware of what was going on.

"My lord, you... what are you doing? Even if you refuse to cooperate with my lord, you can't kill the envoys. I'm just a messenger..."

Just as the envoy was speaking, a soldier had already drawn out his knife, and the envoy's head fell to the ground as soon as the knife fell.

He couldn't believe that he died like this until he died.

The two countries are at war, and if you don't kill them, doesn't it mean that this king of Zhao doesn't even understand this principle?
Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to tell King Zhao.

At this time, King Zhao, after killing the envoy, ordered the soldiers to speed up. He needed to rush to Chang'an City as soon as possible.

As for why he wanted to kill that envoy, first of all, what that envoy said really annoyed King Zhao, he didn't like this envoy, and what's more, he Zhao Wang Li Qingfeng was going to Chang'an City to Qin Wang.

If King Qi knew about it, he would definitely make some preparations in advance and kill the envoys. These envoys would not be able to report the news in advance. After they went to Chang'an City, the chances of successfully defeating the rebels would be much higher. ah.

He believed that not only he would kill the envoys, but other vassal kings would also kill these envoys.
